You guys? Don't think I've been pushing those slogans.

Sounds like you've been had by the GOP and various shock-jock punditry. You see, not everyone who's critical of the Bush Administration is a radical liberal...

Spence your absolutely right. The big fallacy Radical Liberals are banking on right now is their mistaken belief that if someone is critical of Bush they are in support of the far Left Wing ideology. Far from it. Moderate voters determine the outcome of all elections. The voice of moderate Democrats has been muffled by the high pitched screech of that far Left minority and its kind of a shame. And to deny that a portion of the "New" Democratic party would not be extremely satisified with a complete and immediate withdrawal from Iraq despite any potential consequences is just silly.

You would be taking my comment the wrong way then. I think that's an absurd notion. Where did you get it?

From a couple of the few wingnuts I consider friends. In their skewed view of the world Bushs Approval Ratings are validation to them that Americans in general share their beliefs. I think that explains their shock and outrage when their candidate never wins. Dont forget we are not talking about the sharpest tools in the shed here.

This is an extremely valid point made by Striprsniper. I honestly do think that radical liberals see those plummeting approval ratings for GW to mean the country must be "coming around" to their line of thinking. IMO the truth couldn't be further from the point.

Yes, your 2 friends represent the liberal faction in the USA

What's the margin of error on your poll, +/- 98%

I've never seen this point made by liberal thinkers on a broad scale. On individual issues there's some truth. When 50+% of the American people think they were misled into Iraq, it certainly does validate that line of thinking does it not?

As an aside, if it wern't for Bill O'Riley and Sean "jackass: Hannity, the vast majority of Americans wouldn't have a clue as to who George Soros even is, nor would they care.
